Municipal Fines Exceed Criminal Law Code’s Scale of Fines
In the case of the Marondera Municipal Council. Traffic Fines set in USD during the multi-currency period (and not subsequently revised), when converted to Z$ amounts using the RBZ Auction Rate, result in penalties far higher than those prescribed for Levels 1, 2 and 3 (the so-called ‘Spot Fines’, or Deposit Fines) in the Standard Scale of Fines.
